A Handful of Hexes

You think you know the world of magical boarding schools? Not from a teacher’s perspective at a school for at-risk youth. The series WOMBY’S SCHOOL FOR WAYWARD WITCHES is a whimsical urban fantasy set in a contemporary subculture of magical beings and monsters. Clarissa Lawrence is the daughter of the wickedest witch of all time who was also the most dangerous headmistress ever to serve at Womby’s School for Wayward Witches. Clarissa would love to be the dark arts and crafts teacher, but until she learns to control her magic, she’s stuck being the fine arts and crafts teacher. As much as Clarissa Lawrence wants to share the joys of watercolors with her students, she knows it’s going to take more than literacy strategies and art therapy to help students survive against soul-sucking Fae after graduation. She’s going to need to learn magic ASAP if she’s going to help her students, survive her tutelage under an evil magical mentor, and figure out who’s trying to kill her this quarter. When Clarissa finds her mother’s diary outlining her experiments with the Fae Fertility Paradox, she is desperate to uncover the mysteries of her mother’s past that will help with her own magic problems of the present. She suspects this book will solve the feud between Fae and Witchkin. Either that or it will cause an all-out war.
